Something New

The space I choose to observe was the lobby in the new Humanities and Performing Arts building. The area is very open with a two floor high ceiling and larger windows and massive doors. There are tables with chairs around them and up against the windows are some more comfortable chairs with end tables. I found that UMBC students use the space and the time of day and what day of the week it is dictates how to space is used. During the week when there are classes students will sit at the tables and chairs with their laptops and books to do work between classes. On the weekends or after classes it is rather empty. I would recommend this space to someone looking to get work done between classes if they are passing by, I don’t think it’s worth going out of ones way to hang out.
